The analyzed data for this study include surveys, in-personand virtual classroom observations, teacher reflection journals, classroom artifacts, school policydocuments, and semi-structured interviews with 37 engineering faculty members, 2 provosts, 5engineering college deans, and 2 students. The findings reveal a strong leaning for analogies andproverbs as analogical bridges engineering instructors in this context used when traditionalexperiments, classroom demonstrations, or local educational resources failed.

The agreement details the criteriafor completing the time and topic goals in ALEKS and committing to attend the Saturday sessions.Based on the feedback from the school administrators, we were encouraged to continue the Ab7G programover the next few years. We were able to open the program to other schools as indicated in Table 2. Thedemographic profile of each cohort is reflected in Table 2. Note, over 50% of the participants were fromAHLN demographics. For continuing students that began as 3rd graders in 2017, the initial cohort of 17 -3rd graders completed the 6th grade in 2020

then highlighted. Thisinformation grounds the research questions that were explored in this study.BackgroundWithin civil engineering, there is debate over the extent that a master’s degree or similar formalpost-baccalaureate education is necessary for professional practice. Reflective of this debate arechanges in ASCE’s Policy Statement 465 and the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge(CEBOK) over time [4,5,6], as well as changes in the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying (NCEES) model law. The current version of Policy 465 states:“ASCE believes that the most effective means of fulfilling the formal educational requirementsof the CEBOK is by completing a baccalaureate degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited

The explosion of knowledge,coupled with the global movement of ideas, makes it impossible to fully anticipate the nature offuture innovations. It remains that countries that will derive the most from globalization will bethose in which the systems of education, business, and government can cooperate to educate,train, and put to work their human capital.6 According to the IMF 2007 World Economic Outlook, the effective global labor force has risen four folds over thepast two decades, reflecting population growth and the integration of China, India

Of the work conducted by DMSO24,25 , Cohen28 observed : 'Given the critical importance of model validation ... , it is surprising that the constituent parts are not provided in the DOD directive 24 concerning validation. A statistical perspective is almost entirely missing in these directives.' We believe this observation properly reflects the state of the art in V&V, not just the directives of DMSO. That is, the state of the art has not developed to the place where one can clearly point out all of the actual methods, procedures, and process steps that must be undertaken

This facility played an important educational role for nearly 60 years, until it had tobe dismantled in 2006 for the renovation of Guggenheim Hall. The wind tunnel was also used atvarious times for research purposes, especially toward the end of its life. The size of the Department during this time can be best characterized by “slow growth”.The Department had a regular faculty of five throughout the period 1935-1945. Eastwoodstepped down as department head in 1946 and retired in 1947, and Kirsten retired in 1951 (hedied shortly thereafter, in 1952, at the age of 67).

more amenable to theirlearning than in a classroom full of other students at a set time. These advantages addressmultiple levels of diversity amongst learners.The newly found “class time” gained by delivering content outside of class rather than in theclassroom is then often used in F2F courses for activities that help students learn and retaininformation better. Some of these in-class activities could potentially be just as well done by astudent on their own; working on a calculation problem, reading and interpreting a passage,studying and interpreting a figure or graph, reflecting and writing a minute paper, to name a few.Other activities benefit significantly from the interactions between students or students andlearning facilitators

Selectingparticipants for the Delphi method is considered one of the crucial steps in designing the researchas the output mainly will be based on the opinions of the selected experts. Skulmoski et al.(2008) recommended four criteria for the selection of the experts: 1) their knowledge andexperience with the research topic, 2) they voluntarily agree to participate, 3) they have adequatetime to participate, and 4) they have proper communication skills. Based on these criteria, theparticipants for this research were selected from four different groups of people who wereinvolved in the engineering

The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great. What didn’t work as well: I spent A LOT of time checking and re-checking pre-labs and helping students. The lines were long

Mastery of additional outcomes beyond these specific concepts leads to a higher grade.This paper focusses on the outcomes-based grading used in the course and the students reactionsto the grading scheme.Results of preliminary assessment indicate that outcomes-based grading may create greater un-certainty in students regarding their final grades and can lead to the perception that final gradesdo not reflect their true knowledge of the material.
